Oh god I wish I could remember, this was years and years ago (well, obviously...if Compuserve was around). It was a well reasoned, calm response if I remember correctly. It was probably pretty clear from my post that I was a kid.

I remember when I was a young kid, he wrote a nasty review of Ace Ventura or the sequel (which weren't exactly fine cinema). I took to the Compuserve forums (I think he sponsored one specifically for his reviews or feedback) and left a huge, all-caps tirade about how his review was unfair.

Anyway the thread blew up into a huge, multi-page disaster, mostly full of people complaining that I was "yelling" ...which I didn't understand at the time. To his credit, he actually did respond to my screaming 12-or-something-year-old self. God knows I wouldn't have responded to me.

In Quest, I always full-screened one of the views and turned it into 3D view, and the keys allowed me to navigate and build at 10x faster speed than in qeradiant.

I remember Quest! I couldn't use the 3D view as much (it ran horribly slow on my machine at the time), so I had to use the 2D views. Still loved that editor though!

You can also subscribe to NHL Gamecenter, but that is subject to blackouts depending on your location (as Verno noted earlier). I'm not completely sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case with the NFL as well.

I thought the same thing, but it turns out there's a Light Edition that doesn't include the models. It comes it at about 7GB. There are also torrent files for the mod. I might check it out.

edit: the torrent for the full mod checks in at ~2GB...and appears to be missing files?

In more bad luck, my laptop was without a charge, but I've managed to fire it up using an inverter and a car jumper box with a battery in it for this makeshift update (I won't have access to the mail on my other machine until the power returns, so there may be some catching up to do after this.

Creston wrote on Dec 19, 2012, 11:39:Oh, my bad. And yeah, the third book was split in two, and not really a whole lot happens in the first one (it's mostly setting stuff up for the second book). Then again, just about nothing happens at all in books 4 and 5, so this will likely be the last good season of the TV show anyway.

Creston

Hmmm. I'm reading through them now and the third book was just one book for me. The fourth book (weakest of them all so far I thought, I just started book five), was focused on only half of the characters, with book five picking up at the end of book five for the characters that were left out of book four. So that one was split in my opinion. Someone said it was different in the UK/other territories?

Creston wrote on Dec 19, 2012, 11:15:Not sure that I like a super-sized season 3 for GoT. Fitting a book into a 13 episode season makes things move along, which is really the biggest problem with the whole Fire and Ice saga anyway...So making more episodes, eh. That'll just be more episodes where nothing happens... We could also call this the "Peter Jackson's the Hobbit" corrolary.

Creston

What I took from the article is that "super sizing" the season was ... extending the average run time of the episodes from 52 to ~56 minutes. There's still only going to be ten (not 13) episodes. However, the third book will be split into two seasons - your complaint still valid on that one - but that was always the plan.
